Chemical Exposure on the Job
Sometimes, industrial workers are exposed to toxic chemicals on the job. These chemicals can lead to serious diseases, which may show up several years after exposure. Since chemical exposure cases are complex by nature, it is important to secure representation in order to collect maximum damages from the negligent party.
Some of the most common hazardous substances include:
- Asbestos - exposure can lead to asbestosis or mesothelioma
- Benzene - exposure can cause leukemia and acute myelogenous leukemia
- Silica Dust - inhalation can cause silicosis
